Actually, I'm going to dissent and say I'm not wild about the Cappuccino logo: it's too complex. Look at the small version:

It loses any sense of what it is, unless you already know. The larger version on the site is quite pretty, but I'm just not sure it works great as a logo. Logos should still be very clear and recognizable even when degraded a lot (size, lack of colors, etc...).

the cappuccino one fails all of my criteria for being a good logo also. nice graphic but not a logo or an icon at the size it is used at.
